One DS4700 Express and three or more EXP810 storage expansion enclosures

To connect three or more storage expansion enclosures to a DS4700 Express Storage Subsystem, alternately connect a storage expansion enclosure to one of the drive ports of the dual-ported drive channel then connect to the other port until all of the storage expansion enclosures are attached. Figure 73 on page 91 shows the cabling scheme for one DS4700 Express Storage Subsystem and three EXP810 storage expansion enclosures behind both ports of a dual-ported drive channel.
